Here's a pic from Flickr that shows 90-0257 in 2010: https://www.flickr.com/photos/68498610@N03/52524433777/. It looks to be the "Type A" that you show above. It's definitely not "C" and I don't see the bolt heads that "B" has. This earlier photo from 2006 isn't as closeup on the landing gear but appears to be the same wheel: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/5921534

Here's a few front-on pics from DVIDS of AGM-84Ds hanging from P-8s. On the last pic I used Photoshop to superimpose two lines 90° apart from each other over the fins.

Here's a pic from 2016 with a ferry tank underneath: Here's a pic from 2023 with the other style tank. Note the differences in the tail fin shape and the distance from the tip of the tank to the nose gear door: These are the Reskit tanks, which based on the fins appear to be the earlier tanks: These are Phase Hangar 48185 tanks, which although out of stock right now, appear to be the later style tank based on fin configuration:

https://www.eglin.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/814477/40th-fts-expands-a-10-fuel-limitations-in-combat/ Seems they've been testing it since at least 2013, though I've only seen pics from the last year or so of it being used for real. Here's one of a Flying Tigers A-10 in the CENTCOM area back in February of this year, which was prior to the jets covered on the TwoBobs sheet.

The48ers.com carries UpRise, though not that particular sheet yet as it seems to be a new release. They're located in Cyprus, and Cyprus post still isn't shipping to the US but FedEx is and they're even running a free FedEx shipping promotion until the end of the month. While many foreign vendors have turned away American customers, The48ers seems to be doing all they can to make it work, whether doing shipping promotions or even a US only anti-tariff discount at one point. They've become my go to source for all those European aftermarket parts I can't find an equivalent for here in the US.

Sorry, I meant "my pic" as in the one in my post, I can't take credit for it. It was taken by an Airman in a KC-46: https://www.pacaf.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2003286967/ But I might've also been mistaken thinking the OP's picture was more recent, a reverse Google search comes back as 2019, which was before Angry Kitten I believe.

My pic was from 2023, the designation change came in February 2024 Generally that was correct. Few years ago the USAF started using the new Angry Kitten variant of the ALQ-167: https://www.ga.com/usaf-flies-with-angry-kitten-jamming-pod. Phase Hangar Resin has them in both 1/48 and 1/32 scale.

Angry Kitten AN/ALQ-167 Here's another pic of the 18th AGRS using them:

Being marked "F-14B Upgrade" doesn't necessarily mean it had the Sparrowhawk, VF-102 jets being an example, who had B Upgrades in 1997 yet not one of those five squadrons that eventually got the HUD later:

Here's a few pics of the jets from those sheets, complete with live missiles, for inspiration:

If you get no takers and aren't dead set on doing that particular airframe, 48-271 is still available from TwoBobs and also has OIR F-15Cs that would have the Sniper pod and PAD cockpit. Also, Furball 48-072 USAFE MOD Eagles has two OIR F-15Cs from the 493rd, from the same deployment you're looking for.

If we're talking about the T-45 that eraucubsfan posted, it says LTJG W. Driscoll on the rear canopy.

This link from the National Archives says it was taken while they were deploying for Desert Shield: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6471818. The date is listed as January 1, 1990 but I've found when they only have the year of the photo they'll list it that way as Jan 1. I believe the 36th TFW deployed in late December of 1990.

I bought some off eBay from this guy: They don't seem to be listed on his eBay page at the moment but you could perhaps send him a message asking about their availability.

I hope my comment didn't come across as angry. Selling out of your product is a good problem for a business to have. I was just looking forward to giving more of my money to you. 😂 I have a few other builds in the queue before an EX anyway so I can wait for the next round.
